Mary Queen of the Scots

Period music and poetry fill this beautiful creative non-fiction biography of Scotland's most famous and popular queen. Focusing on her reign and not her death in 1587, you will meet Queen Mary as you have never seen her before.

Queen Mary Stuart was one of the most beloved and controversial women in Scottish history. The granddaughter of King James IV and his wife Margaret Tudor, Queen Mary's status as heiress-apparent to Queen Elizabeth's throne in England paired with the violence of the Scottish Reformation set the stage for one of the most dramatic and poorly understood lives of the 16th century.

Mary Queen of the Scots tells Mary's true story, focusing primarily on her reign as queen of Scotland, celebrating her life more than her death and showing us all why she was truly a woman ahead of her time.

Features four period songs and three prayers in Latin plus step by step instruction on how to dance "Washer Woman's Bransle."
